LAURA'S HONEY HAM 
1 med. (about 7 lbs.) smoked pork shoulder
2 c. sugar
1 c. honey or brown sugar, packed
1 can (6 oz.) frozen orange juice, thawed
1 tsp. whole cloves

Make crosswise slits, 1/2 inch apart, halfway through ham to where knife touches bone. Place pork in deep bowl and barely cover with water. Stir in sugar. Soak at least 2 days in refrigerator. Drain.

Place pork in roasting pan lined with enough foil to wrap completely. Pour honey and orange juice all over pork. Stick cloves all over meat. Wrap tightly with foil. Bake at 200 degrees, 6 to 7 hours or until done, unwrapping and basting occasionally with honey mixture. Unwrap and bake at 450 degrees about 15 minutes for slightly crisp skin. Makes about 8 servings.
